This library helps you generate [GraphQL Schema](https://graphql.org/learn/schema/) (also called [GraphQL DSL or SDL](https://graphql-java.readthedocs.io/en/latest/schema.html)) based on Introspection Query response.
It's useful when you use [graphql-java](https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java) and [Code First approach](https://graphql-java.readthedocs.io/en/latest/schema.html#creating-a-schema-programmatically) and want to migrate to [Schema First approach](https://graphql-java.readthedocs.io/en/latest/schema.html#creating-a-schema-using-the-sdl).

## How to use it?

1. Download Command Line Tool from [releases](https://github.com/mstachniuk/graphql-schema-from-introspection-generator/releases) page.
2. Run `java -jar graphql-schema-from-introspection-generator-cli-X.X.X.jar input.json output.graphqls`

File *input.json* should contain the output of GrpahQL Introspection query.
If you don't have this file yet, you can use one from: *core/src/test/resources/testdata/*
3. In *output.graphqls* you will find generated GraphQL Schema.

## How get Introspection Query result?

1. Run your application.
2. Run

Introspection Query

```
query IntrospectionQuery {
__schema {
queryType { name }
mutationType { name }
subscriptionType { name }
types {
...FullType
}
directives {
name
description
locations
args {
...InputValue
}
}
}
}

fragment FullType on __Type {
kind
name
description
fields(includeDeprecated: true) {
name
description
args {
...InputValue
}
type {
...TypeRef
}
isDeprecated
deprecationReason
}
inputFields {
...InputValue
}
interfaces {
...TypeRef
}
enumValues(includeDeprecated: true) {
name
description
isDeprecated
deprecationReason
}
possibleTypes {
...TypeRef
}
}

fragment InputValue on __InputValue {
name
description
type { ...TypeRef }
defaultValue
}

fragment TypeRef on __Type {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

This query based on Introspection Queries in [graphql-java](https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java) and [GraphiQL](https://github.com/graphql/graphiql) projects.

3. Store result in a file and use Command Line tool for generating the schema (See: [How to use it?](#how-to-use-it)).

## Release Notes

Release notes: [docs/release-notes.md](/docs/release-notes.md)

## How to build project?

1. Clone repo
2. Run `./gradlew build`
3. You can find Command Line Tool in *cli/build/libs*
4. You can find core library in *core/build/libs*

## Another usage

You can use the core library in your projects if you want. Just add a dependency (in Gradle):

`compile group: 'io.github.mstachniuk', name: 'graphql-schema-from-introspection-generator-core'`

## How to contribute?

Please Send PR's, issues and feedback via GitHub.

## Alternatives

During finishing this project I found that similar tool already exists in
[graphql-java](https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java) project, see `IntrospectionResultToSchema` class.

Another possibility is to use [graphql-js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js) and this code snippet (NodeJS):

```javascript
const graphql = require("graphql");
const schema = require("path/to/schema.json");

const clientSchema = graphql.buildClientSchema(schema.data);
const schemaString = graphql.printSchema(clientSchema);
console.log(schemaString)
```

Unfortunately, I didn't know that before :-(
